I am not a fan of Mickey Mangun, but in her defense this did not deserve as harsh criticism it received. Her voice sounds worn and stressed with a little Rod Stewart fibe.

Most probably. This was done right after a week of singing at BOTT, where she does a lot of the praise and worship. And as hostess of the conference...sleepless nights as well.

I love to hear MM sing. My fondest memories are "Long and winding road...". Anointing is much more important than ability or 'finesse'.

Blessings, Rhoni

Ideal would be to have both finesse and anointing. Not to minimze spirituality, but long time singers reach a point where they become more of a legend and whatever they do - wrong or right - is accepted because of their long term status. I think she is entering that arena.

I actually joined Youtube so I could post to the "filthy" comment. I'm more of a traditionalist with regard to The National Anthem. Having said that....I don't feel that she "butchered" it anymore than another other singer that has put his or her "spin" on the original version.

George, there are some people I will love to hear sing or preach when they are 95 and can barely get sound out. Finesse is great, but it really isn't all that important, especially in regards to folks who ARE established--simply because we are always going to love them.

Obviously someone really enjoys her singing the national anthem at political events, or they wouldn't keep asking her to do it. Often we are much more critical of our own singers and musicians than secular people.

What was with the free, free, free part? I guess I'm a purist when it comes to the national anthem.

Actually on some notes she screams on pitch. A lot of Apostolic singers have learned to do that quite well! JMHO

What part are you talking about? Are you insulted that I said that she screamed on pitch on a few notes? Should I apologize for my honest opinion?

I honestly believe that many singers have learned to sing quite well by screaming on key on some notes. What's wrong with that?

Actually, I like Sis. Mangun and have enjoyed her singing over the years!

As far as the national athem, I mentioned that I am a purist. I was not impressed with her extra little ditty. I hope you don't take it as a slam on her personally!

I agree. If they have not "attained," it is best they have anointing and ability. In regards to being more critical of our own, that is normal. It is kind of like parents pushing their children to excel. They don't push the neighbors kids; they push their own. Being critical of our own is often constructive. Please don't misunderstand me. Some criticism is vicious and cannot be used constructively. Overall, you and I are in agreement.
P.S. Most of these legends possessed anointing and great ability in their earlier days which is what caused them to be endeared to us.
